Yea, I talk about my balls! My eyeballs are shaped like footballs and I require expensive corrective lenses.

Bribing ladies to hang around men in shitty bars was a plot by big lesbian the whole time.

Social media companies will target teenagers with ads for impulse products if they calculate that the user is stressed or tired.

You should let your community college people know that graduates from prestigious universities are being paid seven figures to influence not only how they spend and save, but also what they earn. Let them know that it’s their personal responsibility to overcome the efforts of trillion dollar industries that have captured the media and government.

I was getting angry reading this.

Committing suicide in jail is common. Not as common as guards who neglect the welfare of their prisoners, but still pretty common.

The Epstein conspiracy theory has people out here arguing that incompetent prison staff doing medical neglect is suspicious.

There is no reason to study Marx other than you find it interesting or because it relates to something your interested in. There is very little utility in knowing the theory.

Marx was a genius similar to Freud. They changed the way we think and gave us new tools to examine the world. Beyond that, their particular ideals are often as wrong as two left shoes.

There is plenty of room on the left for people who reject, or are ignorant of Marx.

Pretty much from the dawn of societies. Generational wealth and progeny is extremely important, and women must be controlled so that provenance of her children may be assured.

In the Bible you constantly see themes that don’t make sense until you understand how important that stuff was. Abraham was asked to sacrifice the thing most precious to him: his son. God killed the first-born of Egypt. Lot’s daughters had sex with their dad because that was the only way to ensure that their ‘pure’ line continued. Calling back to Abraham, God himself sacrificed what? His son.

Pre-agriculture societies were probably pretty egalitarian. And the idea that hunting and gathering was segregated by sex doesn’t have much evidence besides “common sense” and vibes.

The meme drag pedophiles so hard, you barely notice that it dehumanizes refugees to the same degree.

A coworker saw me using a terminal and educated me that computers used to just be just a terminal with no mouse.

Every time I see a white dude pilot on my flight I get a little nervous. I hope he’s qualified and not just here because his uncle owns the airline.

AI slop.

The lid is wildly bigger than the seat, and not aligned in any way either. It’s also interesting that the seat is hinged in the back, and fused with porcelain in the front.

I’ll just point out that monotheism creates some interesting and silly problems too. The Pegans can just assign fertility to a female god for example. Without that option, monotheists have to shoehorn the concept of fertility and birth into the patriarch god.

This is the genesis of the idea of men’s spunk being referred to as a “seed”. It was “common sense” in Western civilization from Roman times to the 18th Century that sperm contained fully-formed little people. Women were just the dirt where you planted those little guys. The inventor of the microscope studied sperm first. And he fully expected to find homoculi in his spunk.

Meanwhile the “primitive” people’s of the world would have found this to be insane. Babies come from women, stupid.

This would almost be funny if the sign wasn’t intended as double-entendre in the fist place.

When is the last time he updated his material? He’s out here still spewing that new-atheist line like his mind is powered by Reddit circa 2013.

Ricky is his persona. A dim man, in a fortunate position, over his head. He’s a stuffy old “ya dad” medium-level bigot like Archie Bunker; he’s only able to get a laugh by being the joke.

I once saw a podcast or something that had Ricky, Dave Chappelle, Jerry Seinfeld, and Louie CK. Now Ricky wasn’t the only shit-head at that table, but he did stand out sharply when back-lit by all that talent.

Bitcoin is for dodging sanctions and the influence America has over the international banking and payment systems. It’s also may shield third parties from sanctions the US may impose on those who transact with Iran.

Sure, but advocates for prison reform don’t have to be incarcerated.

People leaving Twitter now is not very impressive. Less “seeing the light” and more “Trumpgret”.

I’ll remind you that the Debian project left Twitter over a year ago. So the EFF isn’t as fast moving or comfortable with change like … Debian.

I saw a post where a Cybertruck got T-boned by like a Nissan or something. The Tesla didn’t look damaged badly at all and the other car was modern art. Tesla people were bragging about it until someone pointed out that the Nissan driver walked away while the driver of the Tesla broke both legs.

I know this is anecdote, but the point is that vehicle damage doesn’t prove people injuries.

What is up with all these puerile jokes lately? Lemmy is turning into a cafeteria table for preteen boys.

I was thinking about commenting on misogyny, but I’m not sure the people making these jokes are ready for tall-talk.
